About Alicia Cannon

As a government affairs professional, I bring nearly a decade of experience advancing energy and environmental priorities at the intersection of government affairs, corporate responsibility, and legislative strategy. Currently, I lead sustainability policy for Accenture’s Americas Government Affairs team, where I drive regulatory engagement, crisis response, and thought leadership to support global business objectives in energy transition and environmental impact.My work bridges complex regulatory environments and strategic business needs—translating evolving policy landscapes into actionable insights for executive leaders, cross-functional teams, and more than 300 internal stakeholders. I’ve advised on landmark legislation, built influence with government and NGO leaders, and managed millions in federal funding requests on behalf of public-sector clients.Prior to Accenture, I served in advocacy roles supporting local governments, higher education institutions, and medical centers, and led federal lobbying efforts as part of my fellowship with the Friends Committee on National Legislation. Whether building coalitions, securing funding, or briefing Congress, my focus has always been on delivering measurable and actionable progress for my clients.I am in the process of attaining a MSc in International Relations from the University of Edinburgh and hold a BA in Political Science from Villanova University. I\'m also a proud alumna of the New Leaders Council and Victory Institute programs—committed to building equitable, inclusive, and sustainable systems through leadership and policy.
